Getting started with development. [message #231209] Thu, 06 September 2007 08:16 Go to next message

I know this newsgroup is meant for questions about using Eclipse, but I
couldn't see one that deals with newbie development questions. Plus, I'd
rather not jump into the development mailing lists half-cocked.

I have an idea for a new feature that I'd like to develop for the plugin
installation system. It seems that whenever I search for a new feature
that has unmet dependencies, the systen only lists one package that I
don't have. It's be great if it listed all. Then, one could go and find
the missing plugins without having to install the dependency, try again on
the new feature, get knocked back, etc., etc.

Would this kind of feature belong more in the platform-update-dev mailing
list or the platform-ui-dev mailing list?

Also, is there any documentation I should go and read before I even touch
some code?

Regards,
Chris.

Hi Chris

Update Manager development is frozen now. Even if you write a patch it
will be not released.

However new update manager is coming, you can check if it has the
feature you are talking about:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Provisioning_Admin_UI_Users_ Guide

Also, the right path for requesting a feature is filling report here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_feature.cgi

And then, if you have bless from component owner, you can start work :)
